Likewise, liberal progressives are what connect the issue of abortion to the issue of euthanasia; no, it is the religious right that does. Events are related; you just need to see the strings. I suppose the religious right, the fight against abortion, and the fight against illegal immigration have absolutely no connection whatsoever? Perhaps my view of "connection" is different from your view of it.

Socialist ideas have nothing to do with LGBT rights. Plain, and simple. One is economic, and one is social. Socialism has nothing to do with social issues.

Progressive socialists support both issues. That's the connection. Socialism seeks to mold society through social engineering. Why do you think the government has such influence with society in such socialistic nations? I hate it when I feel like I'm being BS'd.

I cry for our education system. Words no longer have meanings apparently.

No, socialism is an economic system, and doesn't seek to mold society through social engineering.
